This proposed action is for the acquisition of one (1) Magneto Optical Traps for Wright-Patterson Air Force Institute of Technology (AFIT) located at 2950 Hobson Way, Wright-Patterson AFB, Ohio, 45433.

The Government intends to solicit and negotiate with only one source under the authority of FAR 13.106-1(b)(1), resulting in a Firm-Fixed-Price contract. The proposed procurement will be a Sole Source under North American Industry Classification Systems (NAICS) Code # 334516 – Other Engine Equipment Manufacturing, with a small business size standard of 1,000 employees. The proposed source AVR Optics located at 1387 Fairport RD., Building 500-Suite 500, Fairport, NY 14450, is the only vendor capable of fulfilling the requirements outlined in the SOW.

However, all responsible sources may submit a capability statement, proposal, quotation, or exception to the intent to purchase on a sole source basis, which shall be considered by the Government if received prior to the closing of this notice. Information received will normally be considered solely for the purposes of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement.
